3. The Hot Case time is taken directly from the LEAVE time in the Route Base Info window. Carriers should be hitting the Hot Case on their way out the door to load their vehicles.

4. Vehicle load time is 19 minutes… Vehicle load time from the 3999 is added to the Hot Case time to arrive at the Depart to Route time. Carriers depart to route after loading their vehicles. LV 10:30 + 0:19 Depart 10:49 (DOIS may round up or down)

5. Vehicle load time is 19 minutes… LV 10:30 + 0:19 Depart 10:49 (DOIS may round up or down)

6. Travel To time is 14 minutes… Depart: 10:49 + 0:14 1 st del. = 11:03 Added to the Depart to Route time to arrive at the First Delivery time…

7. MSP BASICS Calculation of intervals between scheduled street scans after the first delivery: 1.Sum of all previous sector segments in PIVOT PLAN 2.Then calculate: a. Duration of current SS divided by PDs on that SS b. Multiply that by the del. pt. number on that SS 3.Add 1 and 2 above to get scheduled scan time 4.All street scans after the first delivery (including last delivery) are calculated this way

8. The Return to Office time is taken directly from the RETURN time in the Route Base Info window. Carriers should be scanning the Return to Office label on their way in the door from the street.

10. MSP BASICS A minimum of 7 basic MSP points are required: 1) Hot case 2) Depart to Route 3) First Delivery on route 4) “Address” – any other points on route Must have between 2 and 7 of these 5) Last delivery on route 6) Return to Office #s 1, 2 and 6 are office scans #s 3, 4 and 5 are street scans

11. First Delivery and Last Delivery scan points: DOIS automatically designates the first and last street scan points BUT…. Local unit must ensure that they are actually at the beginning and end of the route! Local unit must maintain scan points after any territorial adjustments MSP BASICS

12. DOIS and MSP

14. MSP BASICS Carrier Responsibility : 1)Office Scans – the Primary Street carrier If carrier is primary on more than one route, office scans not required by DOIS (but may still be required by AVUS) 2) Street Scans – the carrier assigned in DOIS to that segment of the route

15. MSP BASICS HOW DO I IMPROVE MY SCORES?  MAINTAIN BASE DATA ACCURACY  ANALYZE REPORTS

16. MSP BASICS MAINTAINING BASE DATA ACCURACY

17. MSP BASICS 1.Most recent 3999 is less than 12 months old 2.Route has not been adjusted since last 3999 (Without a new 3999, scheduled intervals may be incorrect) 3.Route base schedules are accurate and up to date 4.Pivot plans have been recreated Verify in the following order:

18. MSP BASICS Recreate Pivot Plans whenever: Route base schedules change New 3999 uploaded to mainframe Line of travel change processed by AMS Route adjustments implemented RECREATING PIVOT PLAN UPDATES MSP TIMES!! Ongoing Maintenance:

19. MSP BASICS COMMON ISSUES AND ERRORS

20. DOIS and MSP Duplicate Scheduled Scan Time

21. DOIS and MSP

26. Out of Chronological Order Re-create Pivot Plan!

27. 0:00 Scheduled Scan Time (Will show as 12:00 AM in MSP Base Info Maintenance Window) Re-create Pivot Plan!

28. MSP BASICS MSP and ROUTE ADJUSTMENTS MSP scan points should be maintained on the ROUTE side of DOIS after selection of scenario for implementation and prior to submission for approval.

29. MSP BASICS ANALYZING REPORTS

30. Missing Assignment Missed Scans Negative Scheduled Time Excessive “Travel From” Variance Excessive “Total Street Time” Variance Identify Low Scores

31. Missing Depart to Route Scan Excessive Travel From Time Excessive Interval

32. Identify low scorers

33. MSP BASICS Unknown MSP User ID Investigate!

34. 123123 1.Wrong route format in scanner 2.Carrier delivered in 2 zones. Neglected to change zip in scanner OR Carrier scanned HOT CASE on 2 routes 3.Incorrect route number set up in scanner

35. MSP BASICS Invalid Scans Negatively Impact Scan Percentage
